Private Detective: Lexington Police on the Lookout for Violent Robbers

Lexington Police are on the lookout for two violent robbers who committed two robberies on the same day and one again this weekend.

“This guy just kinda comes in, takes over, takes control, gets what he wants and then flies out the door,” Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department told LEX 18’s Kristen Pflum.

The three recent robberies were all within a couple of miles of each other. In each case the man is wearing the same hoodie and carries a gun.

At the Marathon on West Main Street he didn’t cover his face though, giving detectives the biggest lead they have yet.

“He explodes through the door with a gun already drawn in his hand.  He runs up to the counter, he’s pointing it directly at the clerk extremely dangerous pointing it at his face and head and demanding ‘give me the cash, give me the cash,’” said Thomas.

Police say the same two people hit stores on West Main, The H&M Market on Limestone and a Marathon on Martin Luther King.

“We see this over and over with these young guys, is they feel like they need to walk around with loaded weapons.  They’re gonna point these in people’s faces and one touch of the trigger, especially in these high adrenaline situations, could end up with somebody dead then everyone’s lives have changed,” said Thomas.

Even though his partner just acts as a lookout, he is looking at just as much jail time.

“Anytime you’re an accomplice in a robbery like this you’re going to prison just like the guy pointing the gun in someone’s face.  You’re responsible just the same way he is and we’re gonna put that guy in jail as well,” said Thomas.

If you have information on this crime, Crime Stoppers will pay for your information. You can leave an anonymous tip at (859) 253- 2020.
